In 1972 Chris was introducing Bob Marley and Reggae into mainstream popular music in the UK. As a result during the 70’s and 80’s, many
famous entertainers and musicians visited the property, including the Rolling Stones, Marianne Faithful, Grace Jones, Black Uhuru, Willie Nelson
and Bob Marley who convalesced at Strawberry Hill after being shot in 1976.
Strawberry Hill became the meeting place for international and Jamaican artistes to link up, compose and
jam together as can be seen by the images in the Bar. Studio One brought up their mixing board to
record Mick Jagger and Peter Tosh’s Don ’t Look Back .Third World also recorded their first LP - Sata
Amasa Gana here in the mid Seventies.During this period Bob Marley became the leading global
representative of Reggae Music and wrote many songs at Strawberry Hill including the f amous - Natural
Mystic .
